First half thoughts
WTF was up with that first series? We're facing into a 30 mph wind and we come out throwing on the first three plays? Clark fumbles and almost coughs up a touchdown. We got lucky, but all we did was delay Shonn Greene from scoring three plays later.
The decision to switch Rich Ohrnberger and Wisniewski is a colossal blunder. Ohrnberger is getting owned by Mitch King. He's winning the battle in the running game, but can't pass defend to save his life.
After that first series Joe must have turned to Jay and said, "Ok kid. Galen is going to call the plays from now on." Penn State has been running the ball with dominating success. The yardage and time of possession are heavily in our favor.
Unfortunately the redzone offense has sputtered twice. Poor execution killed one drive and a penalty killed the other.
The Iowa defense has to be getting tired. We have to just keep running the ball and wearing them down. I'm looking for Royster, Green, or Williams to break a big play or two in the second half.
LET'S GO STATE

They get the ball to start the 2nd half.

I Think
Galen is the one who decides whether it is a pass or run, so the 3 passes to start instead of running are his fault.

Iowa is getting tired, they weren't getting the same pass rush in the second quarter
Our play selection for running the ball has been great, how many different looks did we use. That is one way to neutralize an aggressive defense when you cannot pass. I say good play calling after the first three and ouch.

What makes you think...
given that you’ve played only one team with any degree of muscle, that you should have beaten the Hawks by 67? This was NOT a trap game…it was an exceptionally tough team that batters people down with Green and waits for mistakes with a patient defense. In other words, they do what the Big 10’s best used to do on a regular basis.
That said, the Nitts are a good team. Scary good. Florida good? No. Alabama good? No. But good enough to smack USC in the mouth? Yes. So, play for that and kick their pansy asses.
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 8, 2008 8:26 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
Well.
The pass interference call was questionable, as was the no call offensive holding on that same play.
But, the loss falls on the offensive playcalling. On the set at the Iowa 12, three atrocious plays, topped off with a terrible deep double-coverage throw.
In addition, this was a Philadeplhia Eagles loss. Red zone field goals or no scores. You don’t win with field goals.

I said it above. You don’t win with FGs. Well, you can, as we saw, but you don’t when you repeatedly put 3’s, and not 7’s, on the board.
Did Andy Reid wire offensive calls to Galen and Jay? Did Jay regress from offensive genius to retarded-son-of JoePa? Perhaps a combination of the lot.

Clark badly overthrows a wide open receiver right into the hands of the Iowa safety. You can blame the wind but I think we all know Clark overthrows his receivers. I think its because he is way too excitable. He needs to learn to calm his ass down.
This loss comes down to bad play-calling and even worse execution.

They’re a good team. They lost 4 games by 12 points. Should we have beaten them? Yes. We didn’t, and that sucks. It is what it is.
Going undefeated is tough to do. No one did it last year. But we can still get to a BCS game, which is something that only 10 teams in the country can say. I’ll take it, and ya know what? If this is JoePa’s last year, congrats to him on his success.

That's fine
Complain about the execution. Complain about the officiating. Complain about the play calling. Heck, complain about not having heaters on the sideline. But to join AFTER the game just to say “Joe Must Go” is assinine and shows very little class or appreciation for what the man has done. It’s because he’s done so well this year that we all feel so crappy right now. Think about that.
